Nature.

A breath of fresh air.

Silence.

Restful sleep.

Knowing all is going to be just fine.

Time to do with what I wish.

A refreshing swim.

Taking photos.

Stargazing.

Moon.

Rain.

Sky.

And Iβm so very grateful.
All photos are my own.
I hope you are having a great start to your week!

Lake Crescent, Leavenworth and Wenatchee area, Rialto beach, Mount Rainer National Park, Iβm sure Iβm forgetting somewhere but in 10 days I crammed as much into the state as I could! Dying to go back!
Stargazing photo is by my work, though. And moon by my house, and of course as well as the palm trees. π΄ Haha!
